Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.9k2+6k+1=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.k=_____ or k=_____
Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients a, b, and c in the quadratic equation9k2+6k+1=0.a=9, b=6, c=1.
Write quadratic formula: Write down the quadratic formula: k=2a−b±b2−4ac.
Substitute values: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula.k=2(9)−(6)±(6)2−4(9)(1).
Simplify discriminant: Simplify the expression under the square root (the discriminant). (6)2−4(9)(1)=36−36=0.
Find real solution: Since the discriminant is 0, there is only one real solution.k=(−6±0)/18.
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression to find the value of k.k=18−6=−31.
